Notes:

Name:
Corporal Joseph Gleason, the father, seems to have been a citizen of some prominence in the town of Sudbury. During King William's, or Ten Year's War between France ad England, when the French in Canada were making allies of the Indians, and by this means harassing the Colonists, Sudbury suffered less than in King Philip's War, but at the same time was subject to sudden incursions. In arranging for protection against these dangers, the public stock of ammunition was distributed for safe keeping among certain citizens, one of whom was Corporal Joseph Gleason.

He was also a signer of a petition, baring no date, but which is preserved in State Archives. This petition is address t the Governor and sets forth the pitiful condition of the colonists at Sudbury by reason of the military service and contributions required of them, and asking such alleviation as might be possible.

He, with his sons Isaac and Joseph were among the signers of a petition to the Sudbury Court, dated Oct. 29, 1707, relative to separating the town into divisions.

The date of birth of Martha, given as the third child of this family, does not appear on the records. But as the eldest son was named Joseph for his father, it is more than likely that the first daughter would have been named for the mother.

As the date of birth of the last child, Thankful, is not known, it is not certain whether she was the daughter of the first wife or of the second.

Joseph married Martha RUSSELL in 1667 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Martha was born in 1647 in Cambridge, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts; died on 2 Mar 1684 in Sudbury, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
